Somaa Rug (Rectangular)

We first saw one of these Somaa rugs by La Liste Tunisienne as a striking wall hanging in one of our Italian homes, Casa di Monti, and the loved the idea of displaying it in this unique way. It may also be hung in a room or in a garden to separate open spaces. Somaa refers to a village situated in the surroundings of Nabeul, the Tunisian city of potters and rug makers. Two women, Djamila and Ichraf, weave and put together each handmade wild palm fiber circle, and they are assembled into the unique designs we see here.
